Crisis Approaches, Arrival in South District 78
The only royal palace in Hueco Mundo Las Noches —Lex Noches—was once Baraggan Barragan, the former king of Hueco Mundo, who maintained his Arrancar form, resembling an old man from the north wrapped in a fur cloak, sitting openly on the throne of Las Noches.
Below them are two others who also maintain their Arrancar forms: Koyatai Starrk and Ulquiorra Cifer.
The others are all Adjuchas maintaining their Menos Grande forms.
Aizen's Arrancar experiment has reached a certain bottleneck. Menos Grande Vasto Lorde can guarantee the normalization of Arrancar and possess Zanpakuto.
However, Adjuchas is far inferior to the Intermediate Menos Grande, but the best among them have already reached the threshold of the Captain-level in terms of combat power.
If this force were to descend entirely upon Soul Society, even disregarding the fighting power of Captain-Commander Yamamoto and the Zero Division, this Hueco Mundo force would be enough to overthrow Seireitei.
This time, however, Aizen's order was for the Adjuchas to be deployed, targeting South District 78.
"What on earth is Aizen thinking? Does such trash even dare to threaten Dōsan Hanyū?"
Tenzō Tenjō, whose arm was severed by Dōsan Hanyū, managed to escape into Hueco Mundo with Aizen's help.
He wasn't following Aizen's orders; Aizen's condition for rescuing him was that he kill Dōsan Hanyū.
"You bastard."
"You're nothing but a defeated opponent of Dōsan Hanyū. You're the one who should be with us. What right do you have?"
"Tenzō Tenjō, you homeless dog!"
"Snort."
Tenzō Tenjō was too lazy to bother with these trash. What he hated most about these idiots was their extreme lack of respect for the strong.
However, Tenzō Tenjō, with his one arm outstretched, was not angry at these fools for saying that he was inferior to Dōsan Hanyū.
He acknowledged that Dōsan Hanyū was a powerful figure no less than himself at his peak, and Tenzō Tenjō had confidence in himself.
However, he believes that even in his prime, it was not impossible for him to lose to Dōsan Hanyū, and that was not something unacceptable.
He was not a warrior, but a man whose life was for victory.
He is a king, the king of the three realms.
Although this was indeed his first failure.
However, his defeat to Dōsan Hanyū that day was because his fighting strength had not fully recovered.
Now, although he has lost an arm, with Aizen's help, his fighting strength has been restored to its peak.
"And besides, Baraggan, you're nothing but a loser. You no longer deserve to sit up there."
Tenzō Tenjō looked at the man before him with disdain, a figure who could be considered a contemporary of himself and a king of Hueco Mundo.
Baraggan showed no anger, his voice calm and steady, "Aren't you the same now, Tenzō Tenjō?"
"No, I merely complied with Aizen's request; I don't need to address him as 'Lord Aizen' like you do."
"Tenzō Tenjō, you bastard!"
Before Baraggan could speak, Adjuchas, who resembled a praying mantis and was over two and a half meters tall, spoke up angrily.
The vast majority of the Adjuchas present were former subordinates of Baraggan.
Hueco Mundo is like a large jungle, and the Adjuchas respect their overlord as much as humans in the World of the Living world respect their parents.
As he spoke, the mantis even extended his scythe.
Tenzō Tenjō didn't even bother to look back at this piece of trash. With a flick of his hand, he pressed down on the mask of the mantis avatar, and then with a forceful movement, the avatar's mask twisted instantly, as if it were made of clay.
The mantis's hollow eyes revealed fear, yet it couldn't utter a sound.
"Puff".
With a single squeeze, the mantis's body exploded.
Here, the Aizen considers as combat power, barely reaches the threshold of Captain-level. In other words, without considering Bankai, its normal Spiritual Pressure is no weaker than that of the Thirteenth Division captain.
Even such an existence could be easily destroyed by Tenzō Tenjō; this is the complete Tenzō Tenjō!
After defeating the Mantis Void, Tenzō Tenjō didn't even turn his head. With a single strike, he created a spatial passage.
Yamamoto's Zanpakuto, Bankai, can cause indelible damage to the Soul Society Ryūjin Jakka is released through Bankai. His Tenzō Tenjō's Hakuda, when used at full power, can also disrupt the balance of the three realms.
"Alright, let's go over there too, lest we keep Lord Aizen waiting."
The Garganta opened, and a small, thin leopard, looking even less than an ordinary fox, bravely walked to the front.
"Grimmjow, you're too arrogant."
The leopard turned its head and looked at its five-meter-tall "companion" that resembled an elephant, its eyes fixed on it as if it were looking at a pile of dung.
With a "whoosh," Grimmjow Sonído from the Hollows' sight. Accompanied by the Hollow Elephant's "roar," Grimmjow chewed twice, spat it out, and then swaggered into the Garganta.
As for the other Menos Grande, the fact that they didn't immediately swarm and devour the defeated Hollow Elephant is already a testament to their "comradeship."
A line of Menos Grande stepped into the Garganta.
Hueco Mundo, the Adjuchas Legion, descends.
"Hey, Kaien, you bastard, you can't be serious, you even went Gillian." The bald man's shiny Ikkaku landed on top of Kaien's head.
Because he was a little slow, he can't even get a sip of soup now.
"Sorry, sorry, you can have it next time."
Kaien stretched and twisted his neck; heaven knows how much of what he said was true.
"Oh?" Yumichika took the Hell Butterfly and received the message inside. "The Captain-Commander has ordered us to go to Rukongai South District 78 to assist Captain Soi Fon and Dōsan Hanyū."
The two, who had just been at loggerheads, reacted differently upon hearing the name Dōsan Hanyū.
Especially Ikkaku Madarame, even the legendary record of Dōsan Hanyū couldn't scare him. In fact, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.
Speaking of which, I think I visited South District 78 recently.
Ikkaku touched his bald head, remembering the place where a particularly exciting battle must have taken place.
What exactly was he doing here in the first place?
As for Kaien, the two hadn't seen each other since Dōsan Hanyū was imprisoned.
But at this moment, Kaien wasn't excited; she felt somewhat suppressed.
Holding the Zanpakuto in his hand, Kaien's face darkened.
What exactly is this ominous premonition?
The Twelfth Division's interdimensional device was a bit bumpy, and after Dōsan Hanyū and his group arrived, they were all shaking their heads and feeling dizzy.
No wonder, Soul Society is a great world corresponding to the World of the Living world.
An ordinary soul might spend its entire life trying to reach Rukongai first District 78, but it would be difficult.
"Ittōbō Murashita, Rizukihime Kasumiōji," Soi Fon commanded directly.
"Yes." The two knelt on one knee before Soi Fon.
"You two go and scout out some intelligence in the surrounding area."
"Yes."
The two stood up and were about to leave when Dōsan Hanyū spoke up somewhat Shunpo.
"No need."
Dōsan's voice was slightly turbulent. In his vision, the surrounding Reishi space seemed to be filled with red, snake-like Spiritual Pressure.
That was Spiritual Pressure belonging to the void.
And at that moment, Dōsan Hanyū's sword moved.
It wasn't just the language, but also the ominous No Cause that trembled slightly.
Each time this happens, it means that Dōsan Hanyū will face a life-or-death crisis.
Normally, if Soi Fon has already given the order, any hesitation from them would be disrespectful to Soi Fon.
This violates the strict discipline of the Punishment Force.
However, Acting Captain Hanyū was still considerable, and Captain Soi Fon didn't seem to care.
"It'll be dangerous. Let's go together to the settlement in District 78."
What danger could there be?
Indeed, the two Captain-level already have a certain range of perception here, and what they went to explore was a more distant area. If danger occurred, even Captain Soi Fon would probably have difficulty rescuing them in time.
But those two are Seated Officer-level; it's too much of an exaggeration for Acting Captain Hanyū.
"Let's continue and get to the gathering point in District 78 as soon as possible."
It was already dawn the next day.
